I dont care about executive. What I want to know is what happened to the police officers who shot Manny Jamws while he was running away. Thanks.
when I read certain comments ot makes me wonder why the police men font just stay home, stop risking their lives and let people do what they like so genique who shot the police last night?
Well said Sir
This will be no use! The police is doing nothing to protect us. Look they kill a man just last night how are we to be sure that he was shooting at them! We need police presence not those who sits on officers at computers
A new executive, eh? That’s good. Hopefully, they can finally get some real traction on those salary increases and address manpower shortages. We’ve heard about these issues for a while now. It’s not easy being a police officer, so let’s see if this new team can really make a difference and get some benefits beyond just a ‘thank you for your service
Informed Citizen, why didn’t you run for executive n stop fighting with the keyboard. It’s cowards like you are the reason why we’re still at stage one
That executive looking like they done tired. Lmao
